UNCLE EsSE's PLEA.
He Makes a Lengthy Speech in Favor OF Gas
cade COunty--A Synopsis of the Argu-
ments Advanced by Him.

Special to the River Press.
HELENA, September 9.-Hon. Jesse lay
lor made the most telling speech that has
been made this session. He advocates not
only the creation of Cascade county, but
also that any community having popula-
tion of over three thousand and territory
over thirty miles square and revenue suf-
fcient to support it ought to be set Oft as
a new county. The fact that Dakota with
not half the resources of Montana has a
population three times as great as Mon
tana he attributes to the fact that she IS
divided into 14O counties. This lnsures
to her people a better government. He
denounced Sun River as little hamlet
rapidly assuming that worst OF diseases,
the desire to become county seat. Hence
the opposition to Cascade county from
that section He paid glowing tribute
to Great Falls with her immense banks,
lumber yards, hotels and stores and
above all her rapidly increasing popula-
ton, and referred to her as being central
ly located, easy VI dCC0SS anu uPoh o1i0
completion of the railroad the natural
trade center of the territory embraced IN
the proposed county. Regarding the
statement that this is in favor OF the
Great Falls Townsite company, he says:
We do not believe that the Honorable
members of the legislature will look with
disfavor upon the fact that j. j. Hill, Par
is Gibson, Col. Broadwater and others
have invested money in this section and
are aiding so powerfully in the develop
ment of northern Montana and the entire
territory. We might as we'll put out our
sign at once that no outside capital is
wanted in these days. No legislature
should force a community to resort te
lynch law, but the refusal to create this
county will virtually be an incentive tc
such resort, owing to the crowds oi
criminals already in advance of the rail
road and which must be dealt with in
some way. The speech was quite lengthy
but the above are the principal points
brought out.

Sunday Sports at the Capital.

HELENA, September 11-To-day the
legislators and their labors were at dis
count and the base ball boys were the
sensation. The cause was a game for S5OO
a side arranged between the Spokane Falls
and Helena clubs. The Spokane club ar
rived in the morning and we're shown over
the town by their admirers Strange as
it may appear, there are many here who
do not like the home nine, and they Whis-
pered in the ears of the visitors that Moi
fatt and Gleason Of Butte, had been I'M
ported for the occasion. Curious enough
there had been forfeit put up and about
one o'clock there was roar that resem-
bled a cyclone. Spokane protested that
it had genuine home nine and that the
importation of the Buttes was handicap
unexpected and unfair and that if they
remained in the team the game could not
be played. The Helena nine, on the con-
trary, asserted that the two men were reg
ular members of the team and would
plav with them in all future contests.
This discussion was long and animated
throughout and Helena announced its ul-
timatum-the Butte men would play IN
the team or no game. The Spokanes held
a conference and proposed to play for the
gate receipts and declare the purse off.
Helena was immovable; it must be Moi
fatt and Gleason or no game. There was
more talk and the result was the money
was posted and a start made for the
grounds. The day was dark and the rain
threatened, and in fact during the game
there were several showers, but there
were about 1000 people in attendance.
The betting was slightly in favor of Hell
ena although the amounts we're net large.
VIM. Friend was chosen umpire and the
game called about three o'clock, with the
Helenas at the bat. When the side was
out it had nine scores to its credit. The
Spokanes had bad luckYwhich, added to
their errors. account for the result. Dur
ing the game there were several decisions
and there was the usual amount of kick
inc. but the claims were about equal on
both sides and it can be safely said the
game was fairly umpired. The result of
the game was in favor of the Helenas by
10 to 5.

out of the revenue bill. Such was the
case and it developed considerable dis
cussion, but no amendment was offered.
The bill passed unanimously.
A telegram from Fort Benton, forward
ed from Fort Belknap, against the divis-
ion of Choteau county was then read and
one from Jas. NJ Gray and twenty others
of Great Falls against division.
The house then went into committee OF

Railroad Rumb1es.

From all we can gather the end of the
track was Sunday night some ten or twelve
miles this side Of Fort Assinniboine, or
about ffty-five miles from Fort Benton.
The track layers have been somewhat de
layed on account of bad weather, but they
are making up in part for lost time by
working on Sundays. The route from
Assinniboine to the Marias presents few
difficulties, comparatively little pile driv
ing being necessary.
The twelve pile drivers are now fast
nearing the Marias, the advance being ex-
pected there Wednesday. 1t is estimated
that it will require only four days work
to put in the Marias and Teton bridges
and do all the pile driving along those
streams The bridges will be in and ready
for the rails several days before the end
of the track reaches those points, and no
delay whatever is anticipated. It seems
now an almost assured fact that the track
will reach here on or before the 1st of Oc-
tober.
We have not learned definitely what
date passenger trains will commence run
ming to Assinniboine, but have been re-
liably informed that this will be done in
ten days or two weeks after the track
reached that point, which will be about
the 18th inst. The first trains will ho
mixed passenger and freight from Fort
Buford, but as there are no towns through
the reservation to cause delays as good
time will be made as though it we're reg
ular passenger train.
We learn that grading on the Marias
and Teton and up Government coulee is
all completed, and that many Of the out
fits have already started east and that the
others are following to-day. This means
that the grade is completed as far west
Cor southwest as Black Horse lake.

MANITOBA MATTERS.
Talk With President Broadwater, of the
Montana Central Connection.

President Broadwater, of the Montana
Manitoba road who has just returned
from st. Paul, remarked to Herald rep
resentatiye to-day that the several mat
ters calling him east we're all consummat
ed, including the purchase of a thousand
acre coal land property added to the COM
pany's present holdings near Great Falls;
as also the building at once of branch
road to Sand Coulee and the opening OF
the coal mines in time to start the cheap
fuel supply before the coming winter has
far advanced. ''When my business was
through" said Col. Broadwater, Il sur
rendered Mr. Hill to the senatorial COM
mittee traversing the northwest and visit
ing the Indian reservations and agencies
for their better information on Indian af-
fairs. Mr. Hill appointed to meet the
committee at Detroit, Mimi, and accom-
pany the gentlemen Dawes, Sabin and
Morgan) to the end of the Manitoba
track, and to-day the committee is proba-
bly, at Belknap." Col BroadWater was
confident the Manitoba would reach Great
Falls by October 10th, and a month later
the track would be completed to Helena

Complimenting President Hill.

The Manitoba railroad has done Won
ders in developing northern Dakota. I'm
aided by government grant, it has opened
up magnificent country peopled with a
hardy and progressive people. If there is
one man more than another that is en-
titled to credit for success it's this same
James j. Hill. Less than twenty years
ago he was bossing Red river steamboat,
charging man S6 to carry him from
Grand Forks to Garry, and $l1 for sitting
on his own trunk on the deck of the boat.
He learned the country, believed in it's
capabilities; seized upon the possibilities,
and to-day is the greatest single-handed
railroad operator and manager Of the
world. Railroading is like making war
an individual here and there must suffer
for the general good. Fargo Argus.

Ocean Disasters.
$4,000.

HALIFAx,September s. A fishing vessel
arriving from the Grand Banks suffered
terribly in the great storm of the 3rd inst.
Capt Nelson of the American schooner
Mabel Kenniston boarded the wreck of an
ocean vessel called the Ocean Pride and
was horrifed to find her crew lying dead
in the cabin. One dead body tied by a
rope was found floating by the side Of the
wreck. The American schooner Nellie
Woodbury. lost six men; drowned in
sight of the vessel. The captain cut the
cable in his endeavor to save the men, but
succeeded in recovering only one man.
Another American schooner reported the
loss of two men. All incoming vessels re-
port the gale to be frightful and say that
when all reports are in the loss Of life and
property will be found to be enormous.

Tornado in Ohio.

TOLEDO, September THE tornado
which visited this section originated in
southern Michigan. 1t first struck Syl-
yania village, ten miles north of Toledo.
All the tall trees we're leveled. The lowest
ones were spared One farmer had fifty
acres Of fine timber all blown down. The
brick school house at Niche was destroy
ed. The damage near Toledo has already
been given. The track of the tornado
was south by east from here, along the
line of the Toledo & Ohio Central road.
The track of the storm can be followed as
far as the eye can reach. 1t is from one
to two hundred yards wide. No fences
nor tall trees are standing in it's track.
Corn is scattered and houses and barns
unroofed for miles, At Wateryille, and
in another village to the southwark there
is much damage done. The total damage
will footup many thousands Of dollars.
No loss of life is reported, but many mar
row escapes are narrated. The rumor
that the new insane asylum here was des-
troyed is false. The roofs of a number of
the buildings were damaged and chimneys
blown down, causing damage to the asylum
to the extent of about $1,000 only. A Wa
bash train met the center Of the tornado
and the smokstack of the locomotive was
blown off.

The Board of Equalization.

Governor Leslie did honor to Choteau
county in nominating Mr.. Chas. E. Con-
rad of this city as member of the terri
torial board Of equalization. The ether
members are W. A. Clark of Butte, L. S.
Wilson OF Bozeman and Alfred Myers of
Billings. These gentlemen act with the
governor and other territorial officers as a
board of equalization and we do not be-
lieve stronger combination could have
been named. OF course the nominations
were readily confirmed by the council.

AiIing Cattle.
Ono.

MANDAN, Oak, September 1.-The
health officers who examined the diseased
cattle at Richardton say that suspicious
symptoms exists in two herds pointing to
the foot and mouth disease. The doctors
wish to take a roseate view Of the matter.
They told reporter tonight that the al
fected animals we're unable to walk on ac-
count of sore feet. They could eat no
food unless it was put in their mouths.
Their tongues and mouths we're int1amed
and liberated. There was no pleuro-pheu-
monia. Local stockmen are excited. The
affected cattle are scattered over several
miles of territory. Efforts will be made
to keep the disease from spreading. One
herd is half mile from Richardton sta
ton, and another on a ranch through
which the main line of the Northern Pa
cific runs, two miles east of Richardton'
DIR. Coe and Assistant Territorial Vete-
rinarian Read say there is some fever.
Cattle fall away in flesh greatly few days
after attacked. Possibly the disease is
the result Of poison, intentional or other
wise. Five farmers have reported affected
cattle so far.

Montana Apples.
Montana.

Among the number of farmers in Gala
ting county who have fruit-bearing trees,
we only mention one, Mr. Fl. Monforton,
on Middle creek. It is about seven years
since Mr. Monforton planted several trees
of the Transcendent, Siberian and Mon
treal Beauty varieties on his farm. This
year the trees are nearly all bearing more
or less fruit, as they have done for two or
three years past. Montana has passed
the experimental period in relation to
fruit growing, and it is now an established
fact that all differeut varieties of fruit
raised in a northern climate can be raised
here in abundance and to perfection. 1t
will not be many years. should our farm
ers generally take hold of this matter,
before Montana will have an abundance
of fruit and will only need to send abroad
for that which can only be raised in trop-
ical climates.-Avant Courier.

ones he wants, so that extradition papers
will be readily secured.
There seems to be a misunderstanding
in regard to the reward offered for the
of these men. The Toronto
Mail stated some time since that 5000
would be paid for their capture, but upon
investigation it appears that the sum has
dwindled down to $500, which, after pay
ing their expenses, does not leave the off
GERS who made the capture much Of
margin.
